Distance/Resistance/Interference

Distance:
 The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters) between the outdoor sensor
and the wireless thermometer. This range is in open air with ideal conditions.
 Consider what is in the signal path between the wireless thermometer and the outdoor sensor.
 Avoid placing electronic in the signal path between the wireless thermometer and the outdoor sensor.
Resistance:
 Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.
 When considering the distance between the outdoor sensor and the wireless thermometer (200 feet
open air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other obstruction in the signal
path.
 Closer is better.
 Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range.
 Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal.
 Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
Interference:
 Consider items in the signal path between the outdoor sensor and the wireless thermometer.
 Sometimes a simple relocation of the outdoor sensor or the wireless thermometer will correct the
interference.
 Windows can reflect the radio signal.
 Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs signal.
 Avoid transmitting antennas: (ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military bases, etc.)
 Electrical wires (utilities, cable, etc.)
 Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
 It is difficult for RF (radio frequency) signal to travel through a hill.

Wireless Thermometer

How tall are the time numbers?

The time numbers are 0.5 inches tall.

Power Requirements

 2-AA Alkaline batteries power this wireless thermometer.

12-Hour or 24-Hour time format

 Time can display in 12-hour (am, pm) or 24-hour format.
 Default is 12-hour time.
 Use the
Program Menu

Fahrenheit/Celsius


Use the program menu

Dashes, HH.H, LL.L or stuck Indoor Temperature

Explanation: These symbols are error messages indication the indoor sensor is outside of its readable
range. For indoor readings, this is generally a power related issue.

Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from the wireless thermometer.
 Press any button 20 times. Leave the wireless thermometer unpowered for 1-2 hours.
 Install fresh Alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
